RICHARD LONG \u2013 SATELLITES<\/em><\/strong>
\nAs part of an exhibition project for the 80th birthday of the British artist (born June 2, 1945, Bristol, GB), in collaboration with numerous institutions in the Rhineland[1], the DKM Museum presents the exhibition Lines Over Time.<\/span>
\nRichard Long is one of the leading representatives of Land Art, which developed starting in the 1960s. His works are characterized by simplicity and a poetic power that arises from interaction with nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the opening of Museum DKM in 2009, the work of Richard Long has held a central position within the Collection Kr\u00e4mer-Maas . A dedicated artist’s room has since been an integral part of the museum\u2019s permanent exhibition. Significant works by the British artist had already been acquired in the early 1980s\u2014most notably the monumental Cornish Slate Circle<\/em> (1983), which continues to define the space as a permanent floor installation.\u00a0Formed from 84 irregularly shaped slate stones from Cornwall, this circle is more than a sculpture: it is a symbol of an artistic attitude that discovers the universal in reduction and the timeless in the concrete. The\u00a0Cornish Slate Circle<\/em>\u00a0serves as the gravitational center of a collection committed to quiet intensity, formal clarity, and a contemplative spirit.<\/p>\n

To mark Richard Long\u2019s 80th birthday, the artist\u2019s room is being expanded through a precisely curated presentation. Selected photographs, mud paintings, graphic works, and rare artist\u2019s books will be shown, highlighting different aspects of his conceptually driven oeuvre. The exhibition is further complemented by the early floor work\u00a0Red Stone Line<\/em>\u00a0(1977), a zigzagging formation of 65 reddish stones in which Long\u2019s central themes of movement, trace, and materiality are compellingly condensed.<\/p>\n

The deep-rooted connection between Museum DKM and the work of Richard Long is also reflected in the museum\u2019s exhibition history. The solo exhibition\u00a0Rhine Driftwood Line<\/em>\u00a0(2013\/14) placed the title installation at its core\u2014a work made from driftwood collected at the last German kilometer of the Rhine, powerfully exemplifying Long\u2019s site-specific approach. As part of the regional cooperation\u00a0Art & Coal \u2013 The Dark Side<\/em>\u00a0(2018), the museum presented Long\u2019s works made from larch bark, anthracite, and charcoal within a curatorial discourse on industrial memory and landscape transformation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Richard Long \u2013 Lines Over Time<\/em>\u00a0is not a retrospective in the classical sense, but rather the expression of a decades-long dialogue between collection, space, and artwork. It honors Richard Long as one of the defining figures of Conceptual Art and Land Art\u2014an artist whose work opens new paths between experiences of nature, memory, and museum thought.<\/span><\/p>\n
